I lead EMEA IT service operations that improve employee and customer experience.
What I'm looking for
At Dyson, I lead EMEA customer experience operations across IT Service Desk, workplace software, executive support, and end-user IT services for 15 offices, five After Sales Centers, and 100+ retail stores.
I manage escalations, service reviews, external partners, and vendor delivery while improving CSAT, NPS, ITSM cost spend, and alignment with business priorities. I also lead Power BI and ServiceNow reporting so stakeholders have the information needed to make decisions.
Before Dyson, I drove business development and partnerships for Ant Group’s WorldFirst ecosystem across EEA, building acquisition strategy for SMEs and ecommerce merchants and supporting KYC onboarding.
My earlier career at UniCredit included leading commercial banking branches, digital branch transformation, and contact-centre operations for teams of more than 80 agents. I bring experience across customer experience, service delivery, operations, sales, stakeholder management, and data-driven process improvement.
